Assessment is subjective, the analysis of what is best practice evolves and changes.

Online teaching and learning requires care or discretion and respect for the individual because the online envrionment involves loss and gain for both teachers and learners.

This is the challenge, how to use new tools to enhance the learning, to facilitate the learning. We can't lose the subject content in our reshaping of it.

Facetime is not a pre-requisite for learning.Learning requires engagement - not necessarily face-to-face contact

Best practice doesn’t neglect context but rather must consider it carefully

How can we replicate our best teacher/learner experience, the one that gave us the spark!

How does the tech support this?

Analytics - increasing student retention by monitoring student engagement

Gauging interest and personalising content.

Interpreting numbers is very human, informed by values, which are not explicit

A lot of our students can be immature and often need guidance in relation to the public and risky forum that online assessment presents.  As educators we need to enforce the necessity to think before posting and consider the implications of online assignments (think twice, write once).

Computing assignments can be incredibly multi-voiced due to the open source nature of the field; students can build assignments based on the prior work of many collaborators.

Diversity:
- we must not only be culturally aware but also intercultural proficient.
- we must be aware of nationality, language, religion, sub cultures.

Complexity:
- international time UTC
- Assessment (peer review)
- Quantity
- Requires structure, organisation, planning, iterative approach, testing

Massive:
- greater pressure
- online
- 24/7?
- up your game; higher pressure, how we present ourselves (dress etc)

A funny question to me because I only heard the term "Digital Natives" for the first time this year and now it seems someone wants me to stop asking about them. Why?

I think is important that we always ask questions and I'm being a little tongue in cheek here, I would imagine that people are a little fed up with terms but the difference is important, we need to understand where people are coming from, their backgrounds, because we also have non-digital natives as well, do we stop asking about them as well?

Use of many modes allows for:
Different types of learner, creativity, change and refreshment, growth, inclusivity and colour!

Sense of community established online - stimulates investment and motivates learning, wide range of flexible resources more suited to different types of learning, opens up the world of learning regardless of geographical location

Is the definition of aesthetics limited to the screen interface? Should aesthetics include a multisensory approach to learning? Does online always mean screen-based?
Designing effective user interfaces requires specialist training in visual design and user experience design. Accessibility needs to be considered, such as visual impairment.
Interface design is a phenomenology of perception where lived time, lived space, lived body and lived others come into play; should we now also consider lived technology?

Statement brings out many thoughts:
Online teaching is not a competitor or superior to proper facilitation but perhaps both if used properly can assist in an optimal student experience.
Proper faciltation takes careful planning, consideration, time and passion to create a fun purposeful learning environment
A blended approach can allow for a good mix of teaching and facilitation to be achieved

They are coming regardless. Offer guarded welcome. Discover their skills & abilities. Teach them ours. They are likely to be essential to care for us all as we age in our demographic time bomb. As educators we will be called on To introduce these machines to our students, and to educate both
